If, three balls before lunch today, you had said to be that Kent would have 120 on the board in their second innings, I would have told you that there's more chance of me running in the Grand National.

Gloucestershire were 89-2, Chris Dent and Will Tavare were going nicely, and all seemed well.

But after Tavare fell just before the interval, a wonderful spell from Mitchell Claydon put an end to that. His 4-35 after lunch starting a collapse which saw the visitors bowled out for 149.

Kent now have a lead of 267 runs, and have the chance to add to that significantly tomorrow.

To borrow another sports' analogy, the ball is very much in the hosts' court.
